Rapidly obsolescent behavior. Maybe one drink. If you're the one asking her out. Maybe. But in modern sexual relationships, both people are choosing to go out because they both hope to have a good time. Bribery shouldn't be part of that. The population of women who are neither high upkeep nor feeling entitled by outdated social norms is rapidly increasing, and you might as well go for those, since they're likely better catches in plenty of other ways. Obviously not all women who are high upkeep or entitled are bad choices, per se. Plenty of good ones are there, in fact! But if you're hunting for fish in the sea, every second spent on a group of fish that's below average in quality is a second not spent on a group of fish that's above average in quality. Edited to add: actually, you're right, there's some hypocrisy in being willing to pay even for a single drink. I retract that lack of follow-through.
